Infant asphyxia refers to a condition where a baby experiences respiratory and circulatory disorders due to various causes during the production process, leading to fetal hypoxia in the abdomen. This results in the absence of spontaneous breathing or the failure to establish regular breathing within one minute after birth. It is a disease characterized primarily by hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis as the main pathological and physiological changes. Proficiency in neonatal asphyxia resuscitation techniques is essential. If a newborn has high-risk factors for asphyxia, it is recommended to be transferred to a large hospital with experience in neonatal rescue for treatment.
